Default Piloting is the second most dangerous occupation

A superior reasoning ability is inherent in intelligence, not in the proof of
intelligence. Thus, an intelligent person can reason well with or without an
arbitrary credential to "prove" that he is intelligent.

What's the point of argument with me then?


Why would your nominally better-than-average reasoning ability be an obstacle
to debate with you?

I joined as a resume booster for the area in which I live.


You shouldn't put Mensa membership on a resume; it can do as much harm as
good, especially if the person reading the resume knows the organization well.

It's amazing how those little words (Member, American Mensa) put your
resume on the top of the pile.


How are you able to determine where your resume goes in the top of the pile?
And if it is so effective in this context, why are you sending out resumes?

I'm published.


That's much better on a resume than Mensa membership. A lot of Mensa members
seem to be living with their parents.

No. I don't need validation. My accomplishments have been recognized by
those that matter.


But you just said that Mensa membership puts you on the top of the pile. If
the rest of the resume is so impressive, why would the mention of Mensa make
so much difference?
